It gets so dark before the dawn
E
That's when it gets to me
E A Gbm
Before the city symphony of taxi horns
B Gbm B
That's the way it always starts
A B A B
Sitting here and waiting on the beating of my heart
B E
Last night I thought I heard my name
E
Well it was too dark to see, but it had to be
E A Gbm A
The voice was just the same
B
That's the way it always starts
A B A
Sitting here and waiting on the beating of my heart
E
So tell me why should it have to be this way
E
Why can't it be all right
E
Why can't I sleep at night?
E
Why should it have to be this way?
E
Why must there be this price to pay?
B E B
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Now all the streets are dark and bare
E
Oh, if you can live in this town
E A Gbm A
And stick around, you can live anywhere
B
That's the way it always starts
A B A B A B E
Sitting here and waiting on the beating of my heaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaart
